nice and round sizes is death to most mallocs, since they usually add 8 bytes overhead.
Thus, on linux allocating 65536 bytes tends to use 69632 bytes or so.

No, but now most code do malloc(X*Y*foo+1), which probably isn't good when malloc works on blocks bigger than bytes. X*Y*foo tend to have a nice, round size.
